Since launching in 1992, winning a BURA Award for Best Practice in Regeneration has become one of the sectors most sought after accolades; the programme is a celebration of imagination, innovation, inspiration and determination.
Through these independent awards we seek to identify and promote projects that are making a positive contribution to economic regeneration, acting as catalysts for wider regeneration and creating a self-sustaining momentum with long-term benefits for local communities.
The awards embrace diversity, recognising projects across the UK on a variety of scales and celebrating the enormous range of people and organisations involved in regeneration.
In 2009 we are delighted that the awards are once again sponsored by agencies from all four countries of the UK -
- Homes and Communities Agency
- Scottish Government
- Welsh Assembly Government
- Department for Social Development - Northern Ireland
This support reflects the commitment of all four countries to identifying, sharing and learning from UK trans-national best practice.
The value of recognition
"The award has lifted the profile of our project and provided more pride of place within the community. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and was proud to be part of this project." The Cross Heritage Regeneration Project - Beith, Ayrshire
"Of all the awards the project has won, this is the one that has been of most interest to government agencies and the regeneration community. The assessment visits were very exciting and thought provoking. What was interesting was getting a sense of national perspective on the project. Both judges were very positive." Court 15 Back to Back Project - Birmingham
